A shame no one really looked at Fairuza for something Batman related back then.. a few years later, and she would have made one hell of a Harley Quinn.
True story: I moved to Los Angeles, near Hollywood Hills in 2007. My girlfriend and I were leaving our place and we ran into a very nice woman who was standing near a very nice small wooden cabinet on the sidewalk. The woman told us that her movers left early without taking the cabinet into her home and she asked if we could help her. I volunteered but my girlfriend looked at me like I was crazy. I assume she looked at me like that because the women asking was beautiful. We wound up helping her get the cabinet into her home. The woman looked familiar to me and I asked if she was the actress from "The Craft" movie. She smiled and then said yes I am Fairuza Balk. We talked for a few moments and then my girlfriend and I left to go do some shopping. When we came back home, we found a pretty bouquet of flowers, a case of beer and a nice bottle of wine near our door with a note thanking us for helping her. Fairuza Balk is truly a nice , caring person and I will always be a fan of hers!
Roxy: "I hope this is like Hocus Pocus." Me: "Oh you sweet summer child."
“I don’t trust him” well he’s Billy Loomis so makes sense 😂
Gonna blow your mind…the girl playing Sarah, Robin Tunney, is wearing a wig! She had just filmed Empire Records with Renee Zellweger and shaved her head.
This movie permanently altered my brain chemistry during my teens in the best way 🖤🔮 I'm so happy you're reacting to it
Bonnie & Rochelle weren't enchanted or evil. In a deleted scene, Nancy guilt tripped them to turn on Sarah when they started showing remorse.
lol her confusing Skeet for Johnny Depp is HILARIOUS. i always thought they favored each other.
They're not bullies. Theyre just followers and will sway where the power is and are not good people. But they're not bullies. I loved how it ended.
